The 16th European Conference on Circuit Theory and Design ECCTD'03 will be
devoted to all aspects of circuit theory and techniques and both analog
and digital signal processing. The emphasis in the conference program is
on new circuits, simulation, modeling, and signal  processing. In
particular, design techniques for future telecommunication systems as well
as system architectures and circuit implementations for neural computing
are covered in the program.         

ECCTD is the leading international conference on electrical and
electronic circuits and systems held in Europe. It is organized
under the patronage of European Circuit Society (ECS), and sponsored by
the IEEE Circuits and Systems Society, IEEE Poland Section.

The presentations will be in the form of contributed and invited papers
in regular, special, and poster sessions. Authors are invited to submit 
original technical papers describing novel research and engineering 
developments in the areas listed below.    

DEADLINE FOR PAPER SUBMISSIONS: February 28th, 2003

Full four-page version of papers in pdf format should be submitted via conference 
web-page for both regular and special sessions. 
Please select "For Authors" at http://ecctd03.zet.agh.edu.pl and read the 
instructions for preparation and submission of papers.
